Race to Nowhere at Jane Pickens Theatre in Newport



Race to Nowhere
Monday April 4th 6:30 doors open 7:00pm screening
Tickets available at door (price?)
A fundraiser for the St Michael's Country Day School Parents Organization &
Sponsored by the Friends of the Jane Pickens as a movie that should be seen in our community
Featuring the heartbreaking stories of young people across the country who have been pushed to the brink, educators who are burned out and worried that students aren't developing the skills they need, and parents who are trying to do what's best for their kids, Race to Nowhere points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace, students have become disengaged, stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant, and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.

Race to Nowhere is a call to mobilize families, educators, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens.
